Outboard Engine Sling with Lifting Handles

I have some unique challenges in my life thanks to a spinal.injury 20 years ago. Extremely limited lifting capacity. To make handling easier using a cherry picker with pneumatic/hydraulic cylinder, I came up with this 1.75in nylon webbing Engine Lifting Sling with Handles to make life easier moving a 55hp Johnny in this case. The two side loops are joined with a carabiner hung from the hook or an overhead hoist.
Some of these IMARS were fitted with an aluminum bar stock Lifting handle around the top edge of lower housing, this one was never drilled out for it .
These 2 webbing handles on each side would allow 2 healthy adults to lift the Johnny off the engine stand or man-handling off l/on the transom.
